Bongo Nyah

Top choice in Southern Malta


Asian, Middle Eastern and Mediterranean flavours all mingle on Bongo Nyah's eclectic menu. A quirky cocktail list, Gozo's Lord Chambray craft beers on tap, and regular music and comedy events conspire to make the bar-eatery one of southern Malta's most fun places to relax. The shared Ottoman, Mumbai and Al-Magħreb platters travel from North Africa to India via Istanbul.
